Description

BallisticsARC by GeoBallistics, LLC

Free features:

-Chart Mode for 1 custom rifle
-Free integration of WeatherFlow products

PLEASE READ OUR NOTES ABOUT THE FREE VERSION!!!

ONLY Chart Mode is FREE for 1 custom rifle. To use the others modes, or add more than 1 custom rifle, you must purchase the premium version. You must add your free custom rifle after the sample rifle and start fresh with any data that you'd like for any caliber you choose. (You cannot manipulate the sample .308. It is only for demonstration purposes.) Users will gain full use of our JBM Ballistics powered solver for 1 rifle only in Chart Mode. Only 1 rifle in Chart Mode is FREE. Users are also allowed full use of the WeatherFlow WEATHERmeter and WINDmeter interface without having to purchase the premium version. PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE A BAIT AND SWITCH REVIEW. If you do, you will look silly for not reading the description. Did I mention that the FREE version ONLY allows users to build 1 custom rifle for use in Chart Mode?

Premium Features:

-Unlimited custom rifle profiles
-Map Mode
-Comp Mode

Map Mode utilizes Google Maps to build range cards, and it range targets with GPS coordinates. This program offers the user the ability to plan on or off-site range cards with immediate ballistic solutions. In addition, the user is able to save and load these range cards for use at their convenience. This mode overlays crucial external ballistic data on satellite imaging in order to display a bullet's performance along it's path. It is our hope that the concept of GeoBallistics will present an effective way to educate shooters on external ballistics as well as promote ethical and accurate shooting.

Comp Mode is similar to Chart Mode, but users are allowed to enter a course of fire with varying azimuths and ranges to produce a list of line-item solutions. This is perfect for precision rifle comps or long 3-gun rifle stages.

Thank you for your support and please reach out to us if you have an issue. We are very responsive and eager to fix any issues that arise. Hiding behind poor reviews doesn't serve anyone.

Well designed app and responsive support. Pros: The important stuff (99% of the app) is straightforward and intuitive. If you get hung up on a something that doesnt make sense, consult the clean documentation, or email support for a quick friendly response. Great Bullet library. Cons: Some small user experience items like range card management and location based atmospherics could be made more intuitive. (these features do work when following documentation)

Hats off to the ARC team. Keep up the good work! Oh and send me a wind meter! 😆

John Doyle

Awesome app, thank you, but how do I tell it that my rifle is zeroed at 100 yards WITH a scope mounted on a 20 MOA riser?

Jordan Tolentino

I really like this app for the simplicity and unique features, such as map mode where you can designate multiple targets and varying distances. However, I have not found a way to input external ballistics from the time of zero. I am running the weather flow weather meter and I've purchased the full version of this app. If there was a way to input initial zeroing ballistics, I would have given it five stars. Isn't this data necessary to make an accurate shot if you are shooting in different conditions from the time of zero? Would love some help/feedback from GeoBallistics. Thanks for the great app!

Ken Carsto

Excellent ballistic calculator. I haven't purchased the accompanying weather meter yet, but the app uses local weather data to compute density altitude. Very helpful. I also appreciate that it uses the data from JBM for its calculation. I've always found this data to be pretty spot-on

Antonio E Loureiro

Superb support. The didn't run on my droid -hardware incompability- but the programmer gave me a one of a kind, rare, thorough support so it deserves 5*. It also seems that the vast majority of users enjoy he app very much. A pity. Perhaps one day it will run with me.

GeoBallistics, LLC April 2, 2017

John, thanks for your review. The 20 MOA riser is irrelevant. Zero is zero, and your riser is cancelled out because you've compensated for it in your scope. Contact us at support@geoballistics.com if you need more info. Thanks.

Hi. Can you please tell us your phone model and carrier? Also, can you please contact us at support@geoballistics.com. We're very sorry the app didn't work for you and we'd like to figure out why. Thanks.

January 13, 2017

Great app Excellent app by itself and when combined with the Bluetooth weather meter it only gets better. Zeroed my rifles at 100, performed a truing calculation at 660 yards and got first round impacts at 1020. The ballistic chart was right on. The GPS target map was also very accurate verified by a laser range finder.

GeoBallistics, LLC January 14, 2017

Thanks so much for your support.

Shane Smithson February 5, 2017

Pretty good app, some better instructions would be nice for beginners. very little options in the pre-loaded bullets section. I'll continue to use and hope for updates.

GeoBallistics, LLC March 21, 2017

Let us know what bullets you're looking for at support@geoballistics.com Thanks for your feedback and review!

Bryce Thompson January 11, 2017

Like the maps I can not add a decemal point to any entered data. Works on my other devices. My Samsung Galaxy 7 4.4.2 tab is the only one it does this on. [Downloaded a keyboard and fix my problem.] Thanks for the idea.

GeoBallistics, LLC January 11, 2017

I'm so glad you found a solution. We're trying to figure out how to correct this on affected devices. Thank you for sharing your device information so we can work on this. Generally we never no there's an issue until we receive a report from a customer. Thanks again for your patience.

Chadd Fry March 5, 2017

Wish the app stored environmental data when you zero your rifle. It should be added to the rifle profile. I believe other apps has this capability. Other than that, this app is awesome!

GeoBallistics, LLC March 21, 2017

Thanks so much for your feedback. Contact us at support@geoballistics.com and I'll be happy to discuss this with you.

paul francis March 2, 2017

I'm a big fan of this app. The trial was great and the paid upgrade is even better. Definitely worth checking out and a big step up over the competition.

GeoBallistics, LLC March 3, 2017

Thank Paul! I'd give you 5 starts too, if I could!

Jason Gutierrez December 13, 2016

Great app Ballistic calculator has been spot on for me, i have been out to 1100yds with it. You can save GPS range cards, which, I use for hunting. The GPS range card is spot on, I've checked it with my laser range finder. And the new "comp" is very convenient to get your dope in shooting matches when there are several targets in a stage...I've used many calculators, and this is my go-to ballistic app now.

GeoBallistics, LLC December 14, 2016

Thanks so much for your support. Please reach out anytime we can be of assistance.

Bill Koenig December 13, 2016

After loading and testing the basic version, I registered it. This is a fantastic app for serious shooters. After setting up my first rifle and load combo, it was off to the range. Using a magnetospeed, I checked my load, entered the data and zeroed at 100 yds. Using the map and geosat I laid out my ranges, read the weather from a WEATHERFLOW Bluetooth, and checked the data for 250 yards. After doping, the first shot hit within 1" of the 10" disk center. Cool. Check the Ballistic Arc chart for 500 yards, doped the scope and took the shot. 4" low at 500 yards. YEEHAW. I corrected the calcs using the app adjustment feature, got a new resolution for 500 yards and took the next shot. And the Next, and the next. A 1 MOA group at 500 yards = exactly the scope dope that Ballistic Arc stated it should be. Folks, it doesn't get any better than this. After the update push to version 1.2.1, I had a re-registration error. I dropped an e-mail to Joe, the author at 8PM last night. I got a suggestion for correction 30 minutes later, and a new version (1.21.1) within 18 hours. And that is is about the best support you could possibly ever ask for. Bill Koenig

Thanks so much for your support. Please reach out in the future if we can be of assistance.

Shane Weaver January 13, 2017

Outstanding Easily the best ballistic solution app available. The free version worked so well that I upgraded. The GPS ranging function is worth the price, let alone all of the other great features that come with it. Advanced users will love the capability. Beginners should have no trouble, but if they do Joe and his staff are always willing to help. I'd pay double the price!!!

John Alley January 13, 2017

Been using this app in conjunction with the wind meeker for close to a year now and it's been 100% from the word go. I recommend this app and product to everybody. Keep up the amazing work gents

GeoBallistics, LLC January 14, 2017

Hey John, thanks for the great review. Contact us through IG so we can send you a gift for being a great customer.

Aaron Gill January 13, 2017

Great app Waiting for my new wind meter to come since I broke mine

GeoBallistics, LLC January 14, 2017

Thanks for the review Aaron. I wonder if your meter might be covered under warranty. Contact us.

Ronnie Toney December 19, 2016

@ronray267 Incredible ! You've got to try this. Long range shooters this is a plus!

Paul Bissman January 14, 2017

The bullet library is a great tool along with the connection to online weather data.

GeoBallistics, LLC January 15, 2017

awesome! Please contact us in the future with any questions.

Matt Jennings February 12, 2017

Loaded and reloaded. App keeps crashing.

GeoBallistics, LLC March 21, 2017

Can you contact us at support@geoballistics.com and give us more details? It appears that the ellipsis 8 tab that you are using has a lot of poor reviews, and that is likely the reason you're having issues. If you've purchased the app, we will happily refund your money. Thanks.

Frank Maglin March 8, 2017

Best ballistics app available!

Kyle Humber January 10, 2017

Only let's me pick. 308 I don't shoot a. 308 and wants me to buy premium upgrade to switch caliber.

GeoBallistics, LLC January 10, 2017

Kyle, please give us a call so we can help you see how to build your FREE custom rifle. All you need to do is hit the add rifle symbol on the top right corner of the screen in the Armory. You can build any caliber you'd like. Please reconsider your 2 star review. There is no bait and switch here.

josh brown November 21, 2016

Rare excellent customer service! I purchased this app and the meter to go along with it, I was incredibly happy at first then I got an update. I could no longer enter decimals in different categories which for sight height was a problem. I emailed them and got a very quick response from Joe. Not only did he do what he could to help me figure out the issue but also sent me a phone number to call him and speak with him personally and a free download code to try the app on another device. Turns out it was my phone. I highly recommend this app

GeoBallistics, LLC December 4, 2016

Thanks Josh Brown. We really appreciate your support and taking the time to leave a review!

Ash D November 18, 2016

This is one of the best balistics apps. I've had about a month to use this app in combination with the weather meter and am truly impressed. This app brings professional features to a consumer market with a very good price point. I would recommend this app to anyone looking to expand their long range game.

September 19, 2016

Nice app, Can be confusing at short ranges. I love my Remington 700 BDL 223. Course it is set to be a Cadillac of med range shooting (600 to 750 yards) so as to have a heavy rifle (heavy rifle means new heavy stock). Moves very little upon trigger pull. Having a Carl Ziess scope mounted and zeroed for 200 yards I know that with a 62gr target round where the round will hit (if I don't hiccup). When using the app, I seem to get conflicting ballistics numbers from time to time. If I can put 3 to 5 rounds within a 1/2 MOA @200 then why would the app show I need to drop my elevation? Oh I know why, because I used the apps buttons for Angle and Bearing. Once I put them in manually there is a HUGE difference in the numbers. Adding an auto slider so the user can see at what angle the device is at would help tremendously. And please add more ammo brands and caliber choices. I cannot find the ammo I use for other weapons I use. Yup it is worth the 15 bucks US =)

Matt Harris August 17, 2016

This should not be free. You can barely even get to try out the features. You can't move the shooter location, use weather info, or change the load information. $15 is required to really get any functionality from this. It should be 4.99 or so to get something thats usable, then maybe a little more to upgrade. I feel like a switch and bait was pulled on me.

GeoBallistics, LLC March 21, 2017

False Statement, and I think you mean "bait and switch." You can use weather, and you can change load info. The manual is very helpful. No you cannot move the shooter location until you upgrade. MAP MODE IS NOT FREE. Consider it checks and balances for someone wanting to shoot a rifle at extreme distances. You get a 1 star review too!

Robert Holcomb November 15, 2016

Like this app. But confused I really like this app. It does way more than I expected. I have tryed a lot of the other apps out however this beats them all hands down. The confusion I have is when I load my location then put in a shooter pin. The solution is out of range 1196 miles. I am in Virginia and it goes to another shooter in Texas. How can I get rid of the shooter in Texas? Do I need to upgrade to be able to do this which is fine. Just wanted to make sure I'm not missing something. Thanks Jake

GeoBallistics, LLC November 27, 2016

Go to Map Mode, tap Menu, tap Delete Range Card, select the one you'd like to delete and you're good to go. The system will always open back to your "last saved range card."

Chip Luck June 23, 2016

Great start on what will be the best Been using every app for PRS for solutions, however this one will be my go to app from now on. Why, when I saw it was based on JBM online which I use to create my dope on my desktop spreadsheets, now I have it portable. Map and weather is a fine idea, no other app comes close. Only thing I would suggest, please add a menu when you are viewing the table, allow us to customze/view ALL available data collums like online and I would give it 10 stars. A night mode light font on dark/black background.

GeoBallistics, LLC September 2, 2016

Chip, thanks for your support and ideas. We're are releasing a significant update soon. Afterwards, we'll get back into dev mode and consider that community's latest recommendations.

Kim Glassman October 26, 2016

What a joke!!!! Nothing works you have to purchase the premium version for $14.95!!!! I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM WEATHERFLOW AGAIN!!!!! I purchased the WINDmeter and now I have to purchase the application to use it?!?! What a joke!!!! All l wanted is to check the wind speed, I can't even do that... Must upgrade, what a joke!!!

GeoBallistics, LLC March 21, 2017

False Statement. THERE IS NO REQUIREMENT TO PURCHASE THE UPGRADE TO USE THE HARDWARE. The WINDmeter and the WEATHERmeter work 100% with the FREE version, AND you can even build 1 custom rifle and utilize Chart Mode. If you would like to build more than 1 custom rifle, you must upgrade. You're a joke.

Danny Warren October 31, 2016

Good app better tech support I sent a email about the problem I was having Joe emailed me the next day. He called and walked me though the problem. Bam I was up and running. Thanks again for the help

GeoBallistics, LLC November 27, 2016

You're are welcome my friend! -Joe

Viktor Zhuromskyy August 2, 2016

Federal loads missing Would give this app 5 stars if the author be so kind to add the whole library of Federal centerfire loads. Paying $19 CAD for the app is too much IMHO.

GeoBallistics, LLC September 2, 2016

Viktor, can you email me the names of the projectiles you would like to see added to the library? Keep in mind that most Federal ammo uses projectiles from various manufacturers. It's possible what you're looking for might be listed under another name. If that is the case, I could possibly relist it under Federal. Thanks.

charlie perrottet November 7, 2016

Contacted seller as I'd purchased it on iOS but not Android. Gave a pro copy with no issues! It's a decent app too...

GeoBallistics, LLC November 27, 2016

I think you're decent, Charlie. Thanks for your support!

Christian Lowery September 8, 2016

Awesome app worth the price The ranging feature is awesome. Hoping for a Hornady ELD bullet update sol.

GeoBallistics, LLC November 27, 2016

They're there! (as of 10/24).

Gary Hall Sr October 26, 2016

Upgrade I have searched all over the site and the Google site to upgrade the app for full access and can't find it anywhere. I would pay the 14.99 if I could find it.

GeoBallistics, LLC October 31, 2016

Gary, I believe we talked the other day and discovered that you had the upgrade installed correctly. Get back in touch if you have anymore questions. Thanks!

Bennie Benson September 18, 2016

Great app Great app easy to use. I have used several apps and this brings all the best features together.

Chad E November 15, 2016

Eh Works ok, however the online weather I can't get it to change from Tx so that's a - on that but meh

GeoBallistics, LLC January 13, 2017

Chad, online weather calls from the position in the last mode visited. 1) Update your GPS coordinates in Chart Mode 2) Delete the pins in Map Mode and build a new Range Card at your desired locale. The new shooter pin will be used for your reference point for online weather. Update... Did you figure this out? I was hoping to hear from you.

David B August 16, 2016

MRAD Bought the weatherflow meter to pair with this app. EVERYTHING WORKS AS ADVERTISED.

GeoBallistics, LLC September 2, 2016

Thanks for your review and your support, David. Happy shooting!

Dan Hein June 21, 2016

Not bad.

S M June 12, 2016

It's only free with one .308 load

GeoBallistics, LLC December 14, 2016

False Statement. You can create 1 custom rifle in addition to the sample rifle, and you have full access to the entire bullet library and/or manual bullet entry. Please try again and reconsider your 1 star review. Thanks!

Chris Johnson May 1, 2016

Good app This is a great app. However, the only complaint I have is the ability to backup/sync all your settings and configurations should you change devices. In this day and age we change devices frequently and this key and important feature is often overlooked. If this functionality is added, it will be hands down very hard to beat.

GeoBallistics, LLC May 14, 2016

This is on the dev queue. We are looking for the best option, not just the easiest. I hope to have this in place by late summer. Thanks for the review!

carlos adame May 5, 2016

Awesome!!! Love how intuitive the app is and the functionality is second to none!! #WontRegret

GeoBallistics, LLC May 14, 2016

Thank you, Carlos!
